I have actually started the fic for Firefly/BSG, but RL has curtailed my writing time lately. I must work on that before someone beats me to it. :)
Sex and violence on the big screen, where it belongs.

They'd prolly get around the Jumpy Fleet syndrome by docking in the hanger bay of a larger ship. Others in BSG do that before a jump.
thats what i was thinking. Although wouldn't Wash have been drafted in to become a Pilot??? (now THATS a crossover idea

Maybe, maybe not. There's civilians as part of the crews onboard various ships in the BSG series. So could say he's a volunteer civillian, then would fit in with the "Out of Gas" episode a bit. Unsure on that front. But it is mentioned in a BSG episode (cant remember which one off-hand) when a superior officer is talking and mentions that some of the crew are civilians.
However, it'll be intresting to see these fanfics weave in the Alliance into the BSG/Firefly crossover - them's the ones that created the Cylons, huh?

There's good people in the 'verse. Not many, Lord knows, but you only need a few.

Can you imagine Serenity encountering Galactica and the fleet? Not that'd be an interresting conversation.

The technology of BSG is compatable with the 'Verse, and although the timeline would need some work, I think it's a fit.

I was informed that the same effects house does the effects for BSG. The shooting style is very similar, and I'm sure you know Serenity made an appearance in the miniseries. I don't remember Serenity having an FTL drive...otherwise they could have the crew of Serenity on BG sometime.

A Firefly-class ship, anyway. Prolly not Serenity.
I've gotten so used to Zoic-style space sequences that I find myself really impatient with other more traditional shooting styles, you know, where everything is in frame and the cameras are all where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be.

Not only was Serenity (or at least a Firefly-class ship) in the BSG mini, but a very battered Galactica was one of the Reaver fleet in Serenity.
Anyway... my preference is to think of Firefly/Serenity as a precursor to BSG. If Firefly is the post civil-war western era of the 'verse, BSG is the modern, post WWII era.
Earth was abandoned, and the legends of it begin to form. The core worlds of the Alliance become the 12 colonies, while the outer worlds essentially die off from poverty and/or oppression from the Alliance.
The Alliance, in thier wisdom, begin developing AI soldiers, leading to the creation of cylons. FTL drives are developed around the same time.
But that's just me. I also like watching the Terminator trilogy as a precursor to the Matrix trilogy (which works out pretty well, really).

That's cool. I thought Terminator 3 was underappreciated. It took guts to end the movie like that. I'd love to see a 4th (hopefully with the actors from 3), obviously with no Arnold. Also hoping The Sarah Connor Chronicles make it to air.
